77219 - Disk cache doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[David Hyatt]

The disk cache simply does not work.  I am using Win2k with a cache size of 
30mb.  As the following attached test runs of jrgm's tests show, the disk cache 
simply isn't working.  I see no improvement or difference between running 
jrgm's tests uncached vs. running them cached.  I compare this with IE6, which 
shows a substantial improvement when you move between the settings.

This means either (a) our disk cache is always on when it shouldn't be, or (b) 
the disk cache simply isn't working.  The numbers seem to imply the latter.

After talking with Hyatt, we determined the enable disk cache preference had 
somehow been turned off.  Turning it back on showed a page load improvement.  We 
will submit another bug report if his enable disk cache preference gets 
mysteriously turned off again.  Marking this bug INVALID.
